Conversations, Grace and Breaking the Cycles

It’s time for a SSL thoughts and feelings dump.

        I borrowed the bones of this from my friend’s post to the book of faces on this day last year.

        I hope she’s doesn’t mind that I made it my own to share this year.

It’s a Happy Sunday coming from some solutions during Saturday conversations.

**I’m good with open, solution based conversation. **

        Call me crazy or needy but I see them as self preservation for future peace.

IF humans showed the same amount of attention, compassion  consideration and empathy for their partner/spouse and family/friends

as they do

for those other “things” that seem so incredibly important,  wouldn’t it be a much more peaceful, caring, simple, safe and tolerable world?

Do I think it will be perfect? Well of course not because perfect isn’t the goal.

      I want to know this:  what can YOU or I as individuals do to make it better while ALSO encouraging others to break cycles that no longer serve us good stuff?

It’s way too easy to get stuck in a miserably and extremely contagious pessimistic attitude!! At least it is for me and damn can it linger, infect and  screw up all the potentially good stuff.

          Shed that painful skin and ugly attitude!

Stop hating (self and uncontrollable stuff) and start asking

WHY people feel the way

they do.

Don’t be afraid to have the conversation.

As I believe, drama is mostly just people trying to understand themselves and the people with whom they choose to interact and love to care about.

Everyone SAYS they don’t want drama but then refuse to own their part in creating it.

And yes, sometimes ignoring it is dealing.

However, if ignoring it and IT keeps coming up, (with the same or different people) is ignoring the most effective or even a solution?

We all have demons:…(material, monetary, sexual,

Imaginary, status quo and comparison baggage) along with

the drama folks that you like or dislike….

Demons can literally be EGO anything…

Throw in some UNFORESEEN health challenges, accidents, or the death of a loved one.

Challenges and uncomfortable dynamics are happening in every family, work place and even churches all over the world. (Y’all know…don’t  pretend they aren’t there. ) ?

They include things you don’t want to happen to someone you truly Iove and care about or strangers if you can empathize that deeply.

There is an extension of GRACE we often choose to ignore receiving or extend …. Believe that Grace can always be with you to have or share. 

Stop complicating things and remember:

What are good manners?

?Stop being afraid you’re going to lose something by helping someone that needs you in moments when they can’t help themselves.

❤️…hold the door open for the person behind you. Give yourself a minute to think what it would be like to be in someone else’s shoes and give a smile instead of a growl. 

  • “No-one learns anything if we aren’t willing to BE  what we wish to see.”

Don’t live in fear.

Seriously stop spreading the doom and gloom.

Strive to Be the one to change the          

cycle.

As always, thanks for reading

Forever I’m thankful ♾️ for you.
